ICC will use three bioenergy technologies to convert separated organic waste into renewable diesel for aviation and vehicle transportation fuels. These technologies include bioreactor fuel preparation, which ICC has been developing in its Nanaimo facility in cooperation with the Regional District of Nanaimo, as well as gasification and catalytic conversion that uses the Fischer-Tropsch process.
Bryan Imber, president and CEO of ICC, said: “The BCBN financing will enable ICC to commence its biofuels research project in Nanaimo. This has long been a goal of ICC’s since inception in 2002, which will now become a reality and a showcase supporting our international expansion.”
ICC is partnering with several British Columbia companies on this project. The partners include Kran Engineering of Surrey and Ramsay Machine Works of Sidney. ICC will be sourcing technological components internationally for further research and application in biofuels production.
